"Stupid Girl" was a single released in 1996 from Garbage's 1995 self-titled debut album. It became Garbage's highest charting single in many territories, including in the US Billboard Hot 100 and in the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #4. It's success was driven by an innovative music video and cutting-edge remixes which gained massive airplay across the world.
The success of "Stupid Girl" propelled sales of parent album Garbage into the top twenty of the Billboard 200 and into the UK Albums Chart top ten. In 1997 the song was nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group.
Written by Garbage members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, the song is based upon a drum sample from The Clash's 1980 hit "Train in Vain", whose writers Joe Strummer and Mick Jones were given a co-writing credit for the song.
In 2007, "Stupid Girl" was remastered and included on Garbage's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage.
"Stupid Girls" is a pop rock song written by Billy Mann, Pink, Niklas Olovson and Robin Mortensen Lynch, and produced by billyman and MachoPsycho for Pink's fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006). It was released as the album's first single in 2006 (see 2006 in music).
"Stupid Girl" is a song by English rock and roll band the Rolling Stones featured on their 1966 album Aftermath.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Stupid Girl" is noted for its apparently degrading lyrics towards women, a charge also made against other Stones songs like "Under My Thumb" and "Brown Sugar". On the song, Bill Janovitz says in his review, "Unlike another of the album's put-downs, "Under My Thumb," "Stupid Girl" rails and spits venom with a high school garage rock band-like intensity and with about the same level of polish and focus. But while it is not as well-written as "Under My Thumb," "Stupid Girl" possesses an endearing and energetic snottiness that might have won the Stones a good amount of sexually frustrated young men fans who might have otherwise started to defect to the Who and the Kinks when they heard ballads like "Lady Jane."
On the song's lyrics, Richards said in a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone, "It was all a spin-off from our environment... hotels, and too many dumb chicks. Not all dumb, not by any means, but that's how one got. When you're canned up - half the time it's impossible to go out - it was to go through a whole sort of football match."
When asked about the song and its influences, Jagger said in a 1995 interview with the same magazine, "Yeah, it's much nastier than 'Under My Thumb'... Obviously, I was having a bit of trouble. I wasn't in a good relationship. Or I was in too many bad relationships. I had so many girlfriends at that point. None of them seemed to care they weren't pleasing me very much. I was obviously in with the wrong group."
"Stupid Girl" was recorded at Los Angeles' RCA Studios in March 6-9 1966. With Jagger on lead vocals and tambourine, Richards plays electric guitars while Brian Jones plays acoustic. Charlie Watts performs drums while Bill Wyman performs bass. Ian Stewart plays organ on the song while Jack Nitzsche performs electric piano.
"Stupid Girl" was performed by the Stones during their tour of 1966. It has been included on the 1989 Singles Collection: The London Years.
